Once again, I was at the SMX Convention to attend the Philippine Fashion Week. I had a number of invites for different shows, but I got to attend the SM Kid's Fashion Spring Summer 2013 alone due to a very busy schedule. Well, SM Kid's Fashion for spring and summer 2013 featured trendy pieces from Crib Couture, Litte Miss, Hello Kitty, Bradley, Dude, Modern Princess, Modern Price, Blush, Girls Edition, Boys Got Style, and Trajecitos de Bebe. Here's for my photo-logue.

First to walk were baptismal clothes for babies.

So cute! This is from Trajecitos de Bebe.

Princess Ryan and her baby princess walked the runway.

I love these polka dot dresses from Little Miss.

This collection reminds me of Chiara Ferragni of Blonde Salad. Hihi.

These vintage looking white dresses look adorable!

Of course, the boys had to show off some boy fashion too.

Of all these, I love Girls Edition, Little Miss, Modern Princess, Blush and Hello Kitty the most. I actually shop from those brands for my daughter. If I have a baby boy, I am sure I would be shopping at Modern Prince, Bradley, Dude and other boy brands as well.

I know I should not have but for some reason, I missed the Day 1 of the Philippine Fashion Week. How come? Arrghh.. long story. The day already passed so I guess I have to forget and move on. Anyhoo, let me share to you my top pick from Ezra Santos' collection for spring summer 2013 as presented by L’Oréal Paris.

Paging Lady Gaga.. here comes your armor dress!

This is my favorite in the name of simplicity.

Reminds me of Tweetie de Leon in a Rajo Laurel pintados gown.

I know right? Simple is beautiful.

This one is perfect for Star Magic Ball Maybe for young stars like Julia Montes.

I was in Megamall to shop for a pair of shoes and an evening bag for my aunt last Friday. The mall was on sale up to 70% off so I grabbed the opportunity of getting fabulous items in a cheaper price. It was soooo crowded because shoppers were everywhere. It was very hard to move.. yet again, I managed to find what I needed and took home a few items for me and for my husband. Well, this is just one of the sale pieces I bought for myself.

When I was in grade school, my grandmother gave me a pair of vintage gold earrings from like the 1940s onward. I can't remember exactly how it looked like but it was small and really cute girl earrings, sold to her by an old friend then given to me as a gift. Anyway, young and careless as I was, I wore it while cleaning our backyard one day. When I cam home, grandmother noticed that I lost an earring and next thing I know, I couldn't wear a pair of gold earrings or anything in gold again because I was worried of losing them.

Anyway, this is a pair of Turkish gold earrings hubby just bought me as a gift. I like it so much because of its bow detail and dangling chain. I know am not that careless girl anymore so more golden things please! :P

What comes to your mind when you say Paris Fashion Week? To me honestly is Louis Vuitton and Chanel. I never been to Paris and to a Louis Vuitton or Chanel fashion show (for me.. they're just a dream), but when you say PFW, I right away think of either LV or Chanel. Acckk, I think this is what I get from reading fashion sites and magazines. Anyway, Louis Vuitton highlighted the last day of Paris Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2013 and here is a photologue.

They did a carousel runway last year and for this year, there was the escalator runway. The models came down in pairs, wearing pieces with checkered print, pointed shoes and 60's headband. The long dresses, skirts and jackets were limited to colors black, yellow, brown, white and yellow-green. The prints were only checkered and flowers.
